The importance of forklift training

Forklift training is essential to minimize accidents and injuries in the workplace. According to the Swedish Work Environment Act, the employer is obliged to ensure that the employee has the training needed for the job. By training your employees in the correct use of forklifts, you can ensure that lifting and transport are carried out safely, which protects both personnel and goods. The training provides a deep understanding of risk assessment, laws and regulations and how to handle different types of forklifts effectively.

The training is flexible, modern and adapted for both individuals and companies.

What does the law say?

According to the law, anyone who drives/uses forklifts and other work machines must have documented theoretical and practical knowledge. This is provided to the driver in our training concept. In addition to the training certificate, a driving permit is required for each workplace that the driver is to drive. According to AFS 2006:5 Section 29, a forklift may only be used by someone who is familiar with the work and who has documented theoretical and practical knowledge for safe use. Furthermore, the regulations describe that the employer is responsible for providing the training required for the safe handling of forklifts and machines.

By choosing Ausab for your training needs, you can ensure that you have the knowledge and competence required to maintain a safe and efficient work environment. Our courses are designed to give you practical skills and theoretical understanding that can be directly applied to your workplace.

Can I drive a truck if I have a regular B driving license?

No, to drive a forklift you need a training certificate for the type of forklift you intend to drive and a driving permit from your employer according to AFS 2006:5 § 18 & 19.

I will only be driving in a fenced area, do I need a forklift license?

Yes, everyone who drives a forklift must have a training certificate and a driving permit for the specific workplace.

Does a driving license have to be available?

Yes, this must be issued by the employer. If the forklift driver is hired, the hirer must issue the driving permit. The permit must be personal and state which types of forklifts and which tasks it applies to. Failure to issue a driving permit may result in a penalty fee from the Swedish Work Environment Authority of SEK 15,000 up to SEK 150,000 depending on the number of employees in the company.
